A wonderful herb for fatigue, anxiety, and depression! - Alternative Medicine Message Board

I've been reading a lot about a little known herb called Rhodiola over the past several months. Rhodiola has been popular in Asia and parts of Europe for years for reducing fatigue, stress, and depression. The herb is just starting to get attention here in the US. Until now, Rhodiola has been almost impossible to find. I've been more depressed and very low on energy over the past couple of weeks because my mother's Alzheimer's has reached the final stages and it's getting the best of me. I've been wondering if there is something even better than St. John's Wort to help get me through this. I just learned that a new and very potent Rhodiola product called "Rhodax" has just hit the market. Well, I only started taking it today and I can't BELIEVE how great my mood and energy level has been! Not only that, my thoughts are more focused and clear than they've been in a long time. I can't say enough about this herb and could go on and on. Anyway, I just had to share this fantastic discovery.

I have also read about this herb and it sounds great; I just have not been able to find it so far. It apparently has been around for a long time, but not in our country....thanks for the info!

Another good anti-depressant that's natural is 5-htp. I use it at times and it works well. It's a substitute of Paxil or other SSI's and doesn't have any bad side effects. I got mine through nature's way.

Go in and ask Jeeves! Just put Rhodox and it will
take you to it! Think you can order it there!

Suggest before going too far with 5 HTP that you check on its safety. Some will be OK but using a lot of it over time can be dangerous. It has something to do with the conversion thats done in the blood before it should and not being able to cross the brain/blood barrier in that form.
